Thexton Universal Thread Gauges (432)

Description

The Thexton Universal Thread Gauges (432) is a simple, effective tool designed to take the guesswork out of identifying a wide range of threads. Whether you’re working with US or metric specifications, this lightweight and portable gauge helps you quickly determine the exact size and pitch of bolts, fittings, pipe threads, and even spark plugs. Made from a special aluminum alloy, it’s designed to be gentle on threads, preventing damage to the parts you’re measuring. From professional mechanics to home DIY enthusiasts, this is an essential addition to any toolbox, ensuring you always select the right fastener for the job and avoid costly mistakes like cross-threading.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Handles four major thread types: US (SAE), metric, pipe, and spark plug threads.
• Identifies US threads from #5 to 3/4″ with a pitch range of 10 TPI to 44 TPI.
• Identifies metric threads from 2.5mm to 22mm with a pitch range of 0.45mm to 2.5mm.
• Identifies pipe threads from 1/16″ to 1/2″ with a pitch range of 14 TPI to 27 TPI.
• Accurately measures spark plug threads from 10mm to 18mm.
• Non-marring aluminum construction protects threads from damage.
• Compact, flat design for easy storage in drawers or tool pouches.

HOW TO USE:

1. Select the appropriate section: The gauge is divided into different sections for US, metric, pipe, and spark plug threads. Locate the section that matches the type of thread you need to identify.
2. Find the right diameter: Place the bolt or fitting against the various holes on the gauge until you find one that fits snugly without force. This shows the diameter of the thread.
3. Determine the thread pitch: Align the threads of your fastener with the teeth on the gauge until you find the one that matches perfectly. This indicates the thread pitch.
4. Confirm the fit: Screw the bolt into the corresponding threaded hole on the gauge. If it screws in smoothly, you have the correct specifications.
